The artist really tried to include everything, didn’t they? Your image is soft and in the greyscale the shadows and lines are pronounced nicely.
Ya know I see stuff like this (not your photo) and it looks like complete chaos. Cool photo however
I like the way the sculpture is lighted. It’s amazing how many figures are put together in such a compact way. Nice shot.
Beautiful shot, love the lighting.
what’s that animal in the middle? Some artists are very talented, and have a great way to incorporate many details
Wow they definitely fit alot of sculptures into a small space! I like the greyscale.
I went to a party like that once. A beautiful sculpture… amazing to me how they did it. Nice shot of it, even though we have no idea what it is… hmpf!
Nice art… nice grey tones as well.
This is the King Dionysus and the Four Seasons.A Greek ancient God…also known as Bacchus …lool….wine and good times.He was the son of Zeus…the larger figures around him are the four seasons.Really cool…where did you photographed this?
Amazing shot of this sculpture, Rian. Fascinating intricate details with stunning sharpness. Excellent job filling the frame with this one.
thanks chris! i was able to gather more information and updated today’s post because of your comment.. 😀 i got this from the metropolitan museum of art in nyc..
I like how this worked out Rian. It really works well in B&W.
Wow, way to be Chris, that’s a good recognition. Great photo. I really like it.
going backwards here to catch up and i really enjoy the contrast between this image and the one after it – the crowd here and then the empty chairs and table in the next one. very well done.
